Greetings, gentlemen of the High Command.
Yesterday, when I started my patrol, I was called by Lieutenant Commander Sader to move to Magellan, since Gallia sent a small Invasion Fleet there. Moving there immediately, I formed up with him and our reinforcements made of very heavy fighters, bombers and capital ships.
The Gallic Invasion Fleet had at least two Valors, two other capital ships and two bombers. Transponder-signs were Punisher|Cavallion, Punisher|Guillotine, RNS-Charless, RNS-Marseille, RNS-Ressentiment and RNS-Tonnant. The battle started as soon as everyone formed up, on both sides. Lieutenant Commander Sader and I focused on their bombers, Punisher|Cavallion and Punisher|Guillotine. We were chasing one after an other, and thanks to his help, I was able to shoot down Punisher|Cavallion. Right then we took care of Punisher|Guillotine, which was shot down by a Liberty Navy Gunship.
In the middle of the battle, also our Bretonian Friends and Allies arrived with a small fleet of Armed Forces capital ships and Bowex bombers. Together we managed to destroy all Gallic ships, unfortunately with the lost of a few Liberty and Bretonia ships. Once the situation was secured and peaceful, we returned to normal duty, restocking and getting our ships repaired at Battleship Yukon.
We returned to Manhattan then, and encountered Pirate Train with the transponder-sign JM|-Toothpick. We stopped him due to that, though he informed us about his ship being registered in Liberty. Checking his cargo and load out I noticed a Xeno gun "Scropion" on his ship. We demanded him to get rid off it. He complied and removed it at Trenton Outpost, after that, he was allowed to proceed.
After that, we continued our patrol to Norfolk, encountering an ALG Rheinland transporter holding about 4000 pieces diamonds in his cargo. He was demanded to drop the diamonds at once. He refused at first, confused about the problem, but once he understood the reason, he complied, dropped the cargo and paid a fine of one million credits to LPI Officer Steven Baker who informed us about the ALG transporter before. Lieutenant Commander Sader then docked on Norfolk Shipyard, and returned in larger ship, to gather the confiscated diamonds, which he took good use off in interest of the 5th Fleet, soon afterwards. The ALG Rheinland transporter was allowed to proceed then.
Right after that, I was informed by a merchant AI-vessel named "Angsthase", that it had interesting goods for the 5th Fleet, willing to sell them to us. Asking for permission I agreed on a deal with the merchant and met him in Cortez to buy the goods. Meanwhile Lieutenant Commander Sader was asked to aid the LPI Officers in finding a Rogue and a Nomad vessel, from what I could hear and understand via the communication channel. Lieutenant Commander Webb reported to duty then, joining in to take care of the Rogue and Nomad problem. I was on my way back, moving to Juneau and got escorted to Zone 21, by Lieutenant Commander Sader, before he returned to Battleship Missouri and docked there. The goods were set down on Juneau. Further and more detailed information about these goods will be mentioned in a classified and encrypted message.
